<p>I found out yesterday that I need to have my lower right jaw replaced with the tibia from my leg. needless to say, I,m very worried and upset. I too had radiation after having 2/3 of my tongue removd. were you able to walk and if not, how LNG before the pain in your leg went say....any jaw complications?</p>
<p>is this surgery disfiguring? Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. </p></div></div></div><ul class="links inline"><li class="comment_forbidden first last"><span><a href="/user/login?destination=node/242328%23comment-form">Log in</a> or <a href="/user/register?destination=node/242328%23comment-form">register</a> to post comments</span></li>

Is your doctor refusing because the VA Hospital says no or is it that he does not have operating privileges in the VA Hospital. I don't know about the size of the VA Hospital in Philly but the one here in downtown Baltimore is very large. Is the reason that the hospital there can't handle that type operation?</p></div></div></div><ul class="links inline"><li class="comment_forbidden first last"><span><a href="/user/login?destination=node/242328%23comment-form">Log in</a> or <a href="/user/register?destination=node/242328%23comment-form">register</a> to post comments</span></li>
